The common pistachio psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) is the key pest of pistachio trees in Iran. Nowadays, pistachio growers use detergents widely to control this pest in pistachio orchards. Consequently, the study was carried out to investigate the effects of applying liquid soap (Jonobgan®) 3500 ppm, dishwashing deter...

This study attempted to assess the situation of Iranian pistachio and its export distribution channels. The main purposes of this study were to determine the most important strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities facing the distribution channels of export of pistachio in Kerman province and to suggest appropriate strategies for the current situation. For this purpose, an experimental a...

capacity of garden productions in iran is such that is accounted as a country that produces thirteen garden products in the world but despite excellent condition in iran for producing garden products, natural disasters damage production of fruits in the country therefore farmers incur a loss. pistachio tree has been in danger of destruction and dryness. thus, in order to reduce loss incurred on...

Objective(s): Metabolic syndrome is a multiplex risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Since some dietary fats such as mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) modify metabolic syndrome components the aim of the present study was to evaluate  the preventive effects of mixture, kernel and hull oils of wild pistachio (WP) (Pistacia atlantica mutica) as good sources of MUFA on different f...

crop insurance is one of the best strategies to tackle farm risks and encourage producers to adopt modern production technologies. in present study, a sample of 224 insured and uninsured pistachio growers was selected for interview and collected required data using a simple random sampling method. then a logit multinomial model was used to assess factors affecting the choice of supplemental ins...

Due to low consumer acceptance and the possibility of immature kernels, closed‐shell pistachio nuts should be separated from open‐shell nuts before reaching the consumer. A system using impact acoustics as a means of classifying closed-shell nuts from open-shell nuts has already been shown to be feasible and have better discrimination performance than a mechanical system.The accuracy of an impa...

mycorrhizal status of pistachio seedling in kerman province in regard to region and some soil properties and also symbiotic potential of sorghum, clover and onion isolates with pistachio seedling were evaluated in this research. 72 samples of pistachio nurseries and 67 samples of sorghum, clover and onion farms were gathered from kerman province and mycorrhizal colonization percent of their roo...

The common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae (Homoptera: Psyllidae) is known as the key pest of pistachio trees in Iran. This study was carried out during three years to test the effect of dish washing detergent (Rika ® ) against this pest in a randomized complete block design with five treatments and four replicates. The treatments were including: 13500ml dish washing detergent per 1000 l...

BACKGROUND Positive effects of pistachio nut consumption on plasma inflammatory biomarkers have been described; however, little is known about molecular events associated with these effects. PURPOSE We studied the anti-inflammatory activity of a hydrophilic extract from Sicilian Pistacia L. (HPE) in a macrophage model and investigated bioactive components relevant to the observed effects. M...
